a little while but for now dr saeed sadat go political social at the american university in cairo says his little immediate prospect of stability in his country . the government and the president agree on something and then after a while you'll find that there is no agreement and that is why the decided not to join also they feel that the president and the government the current government is in top end and so they don't want to give it a new lease of life support so that the government becomes strong again to the future this is
2:03 pm
a time to persia as far as we can tell that we are egypt is going to be on syrian for some time before all part is the allies that the cost of keeping this conflict is going to be too damaging for everybody once you all realize that nobody is going to be winnowed if this conflict continues then you will have democracy as long as everybody some people believe that we will be winning if we keep perjury and decision of the government and the government believes that if they keep persia in the opposition they would be winning there would be no stability in the country. so we're going to go live now to cairo with our correspondent belge bell if you can hear me i know it's pretty noisy where you are is cairo still under fire. absolutely the violence has escalated in the last hour in the capital with clashes continuing between anti-government protesters and security forces on the cornish
2:04 pm
just off the place where we have excessive amounts of takeouts and also reports of life or if but shot at it said being used in addition protests this type of the most sixth of october bridge which leads into prayer and addition at a mosque to the government to the parliament building the shura council was attacked which take us to seeing multiple locations across the globe with quite violent scenes i mean one course i eat has me a little calmer today than it was yesterday though it has been candles for those killed during the face crashes during a previous funeral yesterday but at the moment it is it's relatively quiet however we expect this to escalate in course i am in the next few hours as people have promised to break the curfew the president proposing put in place by protesting in the streets so the kind of fear is coming up by people expected to be that pretty much now bill it is a no signs of a breakthrough between the government and the opposition.
2:05 pm
the opposition have rejected or from the president for dialogue they say they will not meet with the president until he said just possibility for the continued violence and bloodshed and instead they released five demands they said they want national association government to take over and they want the current cabinets resigned and so the new constitution to be revoked so at the moment it doesn't look like there's going to be months show much agreement between the president and the opposition forces in in the in the coming weeks what are the authorities done so flawed to actually try and resolve this crisis. president mohamed morsi met with his national defense council yesterday and then now stay with. the status in three cities across the country for sites or is it is the way with the west so far this has been seen in addition to the how many wrongs
2:06 pm
and in utah today you know saying that any armed forces can arrest citizens this has been cost now by the sure council which is recalling her which means that any way that the army or they can arrest citizens this has been criticized for human rights activists would be if it isn't will now face injury trials in terms of this evening dresses on the violence and slates we expect to see a number of people arrested and growing violence between security forces and people across the country bella keeping a close eye on the story as it develops thank you very much for your time. right those across one belcher out encourage giving us the latest on the egypt streets a great collaboration over the last of four yes that's how you was president barack obama described his first term in office with hillary clinton who's now leaving the post of secretary of state both appeared in a joint televised interview as america's top diplomat prepares to step down my
2:07 pm
colleague and so now i have brains us a review of her time in office. responding to calls for decisive action in the region obama cited egypt as one of the examples of where his administration play a leading role in aiding regime change specifically he said that i think it had if it had not been for the leadership we showed you might have seen a different outcome there we do nobody a service when we leap before we look sounds fair enough but as we've just heard from bell true continuing on dress and mass protests are happening in egypt and the president has declared a state of emergency and nightly curfew so violence there reigns president obama who in fact of course like he upheld in this interview promoted change in the country and he used to enjoy quite high approval ratings across the muslim world but if we look at some numbers a recent poll has suggested that there's been a sharp drop in popularity in the region take a look at these numbers in terms of foreign policy international policy so to say
2:08 pm
thirty four percent back in two thousand and nine now at a mere fifteen percent in twenty twelve well another legacy of obama's first term in office was his handling of the revolt in libya again the president saying washington's foreign policy made a difference well it certainly made a difference but despite criticisms the administration hasn't been proactive enough in the region obama quite wittily it seems saying that moammar gadhafi probably would not agree with that assessment let's remember those violent pictures of him being brutally murdered after eight months of nato intervention let's take also the september attack on the u.s. embassy in benghazi that was a top rebel stronghold it left four top american officials dead including the ambassador and raise questions that hillary is still in fact answering about about the handling of the situation post gadhafi that obama says we are not going to be
2:09 pm
able to control every aspect of every. transition and transformation sometimes they're going to go sideways so a little bit of taking credit for what he sees as plus is saying well we can't control everything when he's answering to criticism now both obama and clinton admit that the conflict in syria should be handled carefully perhaps because of what we saw in libya the aftermath i should say in libya while the president has written clearly on whether or not intervention would help resolve the crisis there . and responding to the obama clinton talk on c.b.s. asia times correspondent peppa as school boss says the destabilization all of north africa will only get worse. i think every single bone and hillary said you know we have to call george all role for a while its spirit will speak leave india is a stable country about ok it's a country by militias basically we do very weak central government with the sofie
2:10 pm
jihad this cross crisscrossing the country and linking to it salafi jihadism and syria and all over the side just like we saw him get back at the enormous gas field . so libya was an absolute disaster and obama and he really could not see the keyboard pull back every single that he's half in the north and africa and now he's blowback all this stuff but ization of syria and it will be much worse in mali and algeria kneejerk everybody's phone calls and no one there be and shall want to pull out and no one there be salafi jihadists are threatening westernized this is evident because that their game where there are actual flight nine hundred forced that flight you know the end the war on the war all make around that you leave supported by nato will force a train by the qataris of course your state ending terms of egypt which obama has guillory also said it's not a second best story for all of these we have
2:11 pm
a military place in egypt the muslim brotherhood in the presence and see supported by salafi jihad newsworthy old by its twenty percent at least and there are people who actually learned the area square and the real spirit off that are you square of people practice aisha the workers students that are left in general ynet egypt difficult politically marginalized so what kind of success stories that. also coming in the program finding to stay afloat we take a look at one of the brains old bridges local shops that's found a way to find again see postal expansion in a struggling economy. also could your expected tangle to cut in front of you want to highway the details of the road incident in rural russia just ahead.
2:12 pm
you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so silly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charged welcome to the big picture.
2:13 pm
you're watching r.t. bahraini authorities have searched for new round of talks with the opposition later this week amid a continuing crackdown on anti regime rallies across the nation the cinema he has been widely used by rights groups of using tear gas and torture against protesters and as our g.'s alexia's just carry a pause even those who try and treat the injured demonstrators say they are being victimized not to dive was among a group of doctors who were trying to help the injured during a protest in bahrain she going to that after violently crushing the dissent the or forty's turned their attention to her and her colleagues who were providing first aid they denied. health care to the patients
2:14 pm
and protesters. the doctors did not obey the orders for such do you dream decided to punish those doctors i was taken to a place for ten days that i didn't know where it was. all that time i was blindfolded and handcuffed i was in a solitary confinement for back to twenty one days. and they would just open the door of the cell and beat me up and leave it there was a member of the royal family who directly was responsible of my torture she was beating me and she electrocuted me almost two dozen doctors were arrested back then this for the fuel the anger of the protesters and turned the hospitals grounds into the scene of the rally the some money hospital is bahrain's leading medical institution and that's where most of the arrests have been made after those events
2:15 pm
it now looks like a fortress guarded heavily by the right police and not everybody can get a human rights activists or if you had suffered for speaking out against the regime and decided to come here for treatment you could make matters even worse for yourself anyone who was injured from the protests they cannot go to the hospital because they would be interested in beating and taking to the jail last year many protester and in jail where torture insults and money we have a story and testimony of people and protester being tortured and jail but in my country protester were tortured inside. britain not or was charged with treason and sentenced to fifteen years in prison before being acquitted because of what she believed to be international pressure on bahrain's government the fate of many other doctors remains unclear the person who allegedly tortured not and others princes. has been officially charged by police she denies all allegations against
2:16 pm
her meanwhile the guy. woman stands resumed but the action it took against the hospital was the right thing to do a woman these doctors managed to control the emergency unit in the first floor of the hospital and started to perform political acts when a hospital is turned into a base for political and sick work and this is a real disaster we had an unbiased committee and this to get in the hospital eight condemn the acts of these doctors and the case against one of the members of the world family may seem as an indication the bahrain's government has bowed to the negative global reaction with the doctor scandal being far from the only torture accusation c.c.t.v. cameras have been installed at all prisons in a move to become more transparent according to the authorities but with protests in the gulf states still continuing and accusations of human rights violations intensifying the opposition is still wondering what happens in the places where the
2:17 pm
cameras cannot see let's see russia. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. on archie dot com right now after a failed run for presidency russia's a billionaire businessman turned politician mikhail prokhorov is eyeing a seat in the state duma find out more online. classes fancy a free pass to the theatre well an american performing arts center is offering just that all you have to do is place live coverage of the performance on twitter find out your knowledge site. now if you're interested in the russian military you can get a closer look at it by taking a drive on the country's rights battle ready at crofton heavily armored machinery comes within meters of those driving on russia's highways and early on my colleague
2:18 pm
and his son now is spoke to our team's tom botton about what sort of military hardware you could end up seeing. you can't say anything of the moment is this driver making his way along the road and suddenly screaming out of the distance comes this fighter jet just fifty meters above the road this helicopter doing the same thing coming in very very low over a driver who was just changing lanes at the time he was apparently training for search and rescue missions himself and then later on in the city of new gil in the urals we'll see just my own business driving along and suddenly a tank comes across the road someone hasn't worked out how to use the brakes yet i think he was the tank was on his way from the tank factory nearby over to a test range of the side of the road the drivers of that car a little bit shocked to see it emerge at that sort of pace there were some investigations but in each of the cases the aviation authority here found that that
2:19 pm
was all with procedures low flying trainings quite important we also find for the helicopter training that is also very necessary and as the as the local authority said all the investigators looking into it said people like seeing helicopters swooping about to know that there are forces is there so i suppose the argument as well and as far as the tank goes the tank fracture himself said this is totally normal the tanks have to drive across the result of red light that is you can't just see it's just off screen showing drivers perhaps not very well they should have stopped and the tank factory saying people should watch out their tanks about . pretrial hearings in the case of the alleged mastermind behind the nine eleven attacks and his accomplices are said to begin at the u.s. detention center in one time a big cuba on monday to talk more on this we're now joined live by andrea price the senior counterterrorism counsel at the human rights watch and they are among the
2:20 pm
key is used to be discussed at these hearings are the so-called cia black sites secretly operated u.s. prisons where the men were allegedly held could this of that to the trial. you know that one of the issues with the crown of race is that they want to be a black reserves they consider them to be being the crime which i deal with while the men were tortured there and they think that that's relevant to the case and i think they have a very strong argument and additionally an interesting factor is that the judge who is overseeing this case folks oh preserved in a very different a the other gravesite under the same theory that evidence could be obtained from that through there and so i think we may see him order at the site wherever they may be which has not been publicly confirmed by the u.s. government that these claims need to be preserved how much longer could it could the trial be still won't well i don't think it will delay anything i think the issue is to make sure the evidence is not good but the reality is that this trial
2:21 pm
is not going to happen any time than there was a week of pretrial hearing taking place now there's another week scheduled two weeks from now and we're talking about months of nine years before the actual trial begins i guess a lot of people. particularly i'm also asking myself why would these kind of prisons need it in the first place i mean why couldn't the subject just be interrogated in the u.s. system why have a designated area had to bring these suspects when no one can get to them not even the law can touch them at this point well you just hit on exactly the reason that they were created because the law could not reach them they were secretly eagle detention place where people were tortured in violation of u.s. and international law so there was never any reason because i'm president obama closed them and the fact he's made so this is just members argued just that just there may be some as it is related to what happened to their client there and that they don't want them destroyed in the trial what do you think is the significance
2:22 pm
of the locations of the prisons well even any. well the secret prisons are of course out by the u.s. it's been publicly reported that they were thicker than poland in thailand in the sweeney in other places and what i think that shows just how widespread the us through jena kidnapping rendition and torture was it wasn't just the case of the us it seems we've gone perjury and that there was involvement and cooperation of governments throughout the world who works thing i mean do they have local personnel is it just americans only is it military who actually they run the day to day basis of these prisons with the secret prisons are no longer open even if they were open when president obama took office one of the first act that we engaged in the first time he was inaugurated was to order that they be closed and if anyone were there that those people either be of the illegal real evil process be
2:23 pm
a fight about so as far as we know they don't exist in terms of being operated by the you know when there is no one in working there but with a defense lawyer wrong with make sure that the surveys aren't destroyed now they were run by the central intelligence agency but it marries country to country whether they be local security there with their intelligence services were involved in our operation any ought to cool you say that there is a pattern of not holding officials accountable for authorizing toyshop should people be prosecuted for following orders all should the blame go all the way to the top really for the blame. pop and now girl later down the real concern in the us is that no senior official has ever been held accountable the only people who've been prosecuted very beginning if you have been first of all very limited number of people hands or people and always load level people and never the senior officials who created the regime of torture and ordered it and
2:24 pm
authorized and implemented the human rights watch of the only a third that there are the pushing grounds for a criminal investigation into the conduct of senior officials all the way to the top of war president george bush and other earth have you you'll sell been to guantanamo bay and what can you tell us about what it looks like if you have been to one of these secret camps give us an idea of what it looks like yes i've been to guantanamo many times now as a human right there are some times there are tours of the camp but right conservative then i would leave with the thing is i have done so in increase the risk and right to represent anything but when i travel now for human rights watch we are kept far from the prisoners the only time we see the prisoners and when they appear in court and then it behind the glass wall there is actually a time delay with the prisoners and other trial going to speak you can see them speak but you can't actually hear it until forty seconds later and that's resigned
2:25 pm
to allow the government could cut off the audio feed in case someone says something that the government believes to be. andrea andrea prosor lot of run out of time you know the scene at counterterrorism consul at human rights watch thank you. economists in the u.k. have warned that driessen heavy snowfall has heightened the risk of britain heading into a triple dip recession and with the country's independent retailers under constant pressure from supermarket chains i just want to wenches see how small business has managed to turn the tight and even trying. it's older than buckingham palace and tower bridge and it's been a local store in the heart of rural east england for three hundred and seventy years visitors who stumble across the it's a ring a village shop in this remote region of norfolk say that it's like an oasis in the middle of the desert. it was faced with going out of business until twenty five
2:26 pm
villages stepped in raise five thousand pounds to keep it open and offered to walk them for free i couldn't live in this village without. the community nature of the village which in short the free workforce allows it to stay open and breakeven i think people are happy in their lives by working for free. to come in and do something knowing that your contribution has a meaning or purpose. isn't. it just heritage and we want to make sure he does continue for the next generation volunteers who run the say that there are two secrets to success the locally sourced produce means that the propping up the local economy take for example your free range eggs delivered from a nearby village there's a second recess secret alerts the famous chocolate biscuits customers travel
2:27 pm
far and wide for this homemade treat but even with volunteers staying open is hard the onslaught of major national chains is immense buying power tempts shoppers with food sold for next to nothing has killed off thousands of independent british shops leaving ghost villages and now wait well obviously we're up against supermarkets and we all use supermarkets but to be able to have a local store which does local produce and it's something where you can chat to people you meet everybody the gossip goes on here is amazing it would be dreadful if we'd all sit through something like this you can never get it back again and they're not alone in getting together to save their small shop from extinction there are three hundred other community stores in some of the u.k.'s most rural pockets winning customers by knowing that retail means detail so operating in really difficult economic times but they really punching above their weight community shops are offering something. very often quite different from what
2:28 pm
a supermarket is. offering for example they are cafes they're offering postal services they're offering somewhere to go in and talk to your neighbors and your friends and if working for free is what it takes to keep it hearing and shop open and so be it you know. i mean they do it's the kind of spirit that could see this tiny store whether the was and hate the stay open for another three hundred. c. north norfolk u.k. . coming up off the shelf break ins peter lavelle and crosstalk. asco actually caused a fiasco by singing a song highly critical of president obama ironically at
2:29 pm
a concert in honor of his second inauguration according to the huffington post he was thrown off stage by security for insulting the dear leader the sounds really bad like something out of one thousand nine hundred four where thoughts come out of nowhere the second you say something out of line about the party. to the song loop it was singing had been going on for thirty minutes at that point this rant was more like a hip hop filibuster stopping the whole show and dragging on and on there and so i think security just wanted to silence him in general not silence his anti obama opinions so you know whoopee next time when you want to bring up obama's drone usage or total disregard for the constitution then keep it under three minutes and everything will be just fine but that's just my opinion.
